Chapter 9 contains a Tremendous prophecy. Because of the intricate accuracy of its fulfillment, we have confidence in the historic accuracy of the "Book Daniel." reading in 9:25 " Know therefore and understand, that from going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince. shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." Sixty- two weeks and seven weeks total sixty-nine weeks. The Hebrew word here is Shabua, which simply means a "period of seven." Most scholars will agree that this is a period of seven years each. Multiplying 69 x7 we get a total of 483 years. We know the commandment to rebuild the city and wall, recorded in Nehemiah 2:1 was on the first of March, 444 B.C. The day on which Messiah was cut off was on March 25, 33 A.D. The prophetic calendar consists of 360 days per year, so we must multiply 360 x 483 prophet years for a total of 173,880 predicted days. As we begin to check this out on the Julian Calendar, we must take the 444 years from the command to rebuild the wall of the city down to the year O, then add the 33 years A.D. from the year O to the crucifixion of Christ for a total of 477. however, since the year O, counts 1B.C. and 1 A.D., we must subtract one year, leaving a total of 476 years according to the Julian calendar When we multiply 476 years x 365 days, we get 173,740 days. There were 116 leap year days, so we add those and also the 24 covering the interlude between March 1, date for the command to build the city and the wall, and the March 25, date of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. By counting every day , we end up with a total of 173,880 days, predictive days prophesied by Daniel 9:25. This is one of the most tremendous prophecies in the entire Old Testament. Daniel tells us to the day the time of the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ,
173,880 days in the future.
